Like, seriously, went through the last 10 years spending a good chunk of my day on Twitter and Reddit using Chrome, and suddenly I'm on Lemmy/Mastodon on Firefox.

Firefox's been better since Quantum.

It feels like much much faster than Chrome, not gonna lie.

And ram efficient

[–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That is only because it doesn't keep all tabs loaded in RAM all of the time though.

If you open the same pages with the same installed extensions on both you will see similar RAM usage. It is only on restoring sessions or longer-term sessions that you will see a difference because FF will reload the page when it is activated again where chrome will keep it in RAM.

At least that used to be the case.

I mean yes, that's the main reason, but that doesn't make it any less true. I like being able to have a couple extra tabs open just to have them there, not having them to use up resources seems kind of like a given.

This is my exact change. They want to shittify things I'll switch or just stop using it. I'm at my breaking point.

Eerily feels like I wrote that comment.

Seriously... my oldest account on Reddit was 12 years old. I've been through so many changes that turned me off, but the API stuff was the last blow, and the CEO's love for Elon Musk just sealed the deal.

Did not hear about that. He sucks, but Elmo sucks more.

Elmo sucks?

[–] Lorium_O@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Lol I think he meant Elon.

Add me to the list with a side of furiously searching for security and privacy of cloud storage services and figuring out which Linux I want to use. I'm shaking my head at how complacent I got with my services. I always do my due diligence when starting to use anything but I somehow forgot to keep up in the past couple of years.

Do you miss anything?

[–] Chatotorix@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I won't lie that it's been an adjustment. Old habits die hard. Reddit is the one that I am more certainly done with. No one is on Mastodon yet so I do browse Twitter a little bit to get updates on the stuff I like, but don't interact there anymore.

I miss a lot of my niche content

[–] pietervdvn@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Well, best thing to counter that is to be the change you want to see. Start the community for the niche you miss the most/know the most about. Post something daily for two weeks + do a call for mods, and before you know you'll have at least some activity. I (helped) to bootstrap !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml this way, and the community has about 1 top level post per day on average now. Not a lot, but a good start.
